 |
|
Hi All,
Am looking to build a canoe for my partner and I, this is more a project of
interest than a money saver (arent they all?)
The requirements; to be used on a lake (no river paddling etc) by two
people, me 220lbs, my partner 100lbs.
must be car toppable by two, though length really isnt critical.
nice and stable. We wont be fishing, but not really keen on going for an
unplanned swim and neither of us are veteran paddlers.
In conflict with the last, a bit of speed would be nice! This is more
imprtant than turning ability, and would be willing to sacrifice a bit of
stability for a bit of speed.
Hopefully would be semi comfortable
must be built of ply. Stitch and glue or any other ply method ok
need not be stunningly beautiful
Happy to pay for plans, dont mind a bit of complexity in the build. Have
plenty of resources available, mainly looking for something that will be a
pleasure to paddle.
Thanks!

Check out www.oneoceankayaks.com they have a few designs in ply and
even sell one with pre-cut stuff. They are really beautiful and built
for what you are looking for. They also have a lot of info on
building right on their site. |
